This is something we did a few years ago but had to stop as PayPal got a bit upity about it (they still are; I know someone who lost his account because of it).

But anyway, who would be interested in getting back into the swing of things with doing a competition based on the bonus ball on the Saturday Lottery?

Rough guidelines would be democratic (so we can choose which would suit):
- £1 a ticket, £2 a ticket, £5 a ticket?
- once a fortnight? Once a month?
- 1st place only...

The reason for this is the home page was a little dated and not current with what we do / offer as a forum. this means we can promote current / relevant threads on to the main page to be either part of the image slider or on the article page where you will find all the latest news on up and coming games and news.

It came to our attention that a member (who was active and partaking in one of the forums leagues) was abusive and disrespectful to another member. They have been removed from the forum completely (after a review of concrete evidence) simply because it is not what we stand for.

We don't discourage people from having a laugh and a bit of banter...but threats are not welcome and will...

If you have any feedback or see any errors/ user issues then post in here and i will look into it ASAP

Annually, we vote for and work with two charities (one for the Leeds office, one for the Manchester office). This year and the same as last year, they are CSHF (http://chsf.org.uk/) and Kidscan (http://kidscan.org.uk/). This year we’re ramping up our interactivity with the Manchester charity and my first port of call is to do something fun...

I have added a new mod to the forum which lets you add yourself to a group, this way we can add lots of groups that people can join.

We can then be a little more specific when tagging in threads for example Hardware rivals, you can join that group and then if we run a Game night or a Tournament then we can tag @Hardware Rivals and just the members in that group will get the notification.

I have just added a new Live streaming add-on. This add-on will display your live streams from YouTube, Twitch, UStream and Hitbox

If you stream or want to start streaming then click "STREAMS" in the top navbar and then there is an option to submit your channel. Before the stream goes straight on it will first need to be approved by an admin or mod but will just sit in a queue until we do so.

This area can be used to hold any videos you may have for gameplay footage, match winning kills, goals on fifa etc which can be held all in the one place.]]>Help me win an Xbox One!Thu, 05 Nov 2015 17:36:56 +0000http://www.vgforums.co.uk/threads/help-me-win-an-xbox-one.5870/

Let us know what games you miss from your child hood or growing up and what console they are from. Always great to build up a archive of great games.

First off, apologies if this is in the wrong place! Anyway, I'm the writer of a radio sitcom pilot that was broadcast by BBC Radio Scotland on Monday and myself and the rest of the production team would love feedback from the gaming community. This is what the show is about -

It is 1988. Anything is possible. Even in Dundee. Casey is 20 and dreams of turning his bedroom hobby into something massive - he designs video games and has seen the future... But first he has to convince...

When there is a problem Gavin drops everything to get us back up and working, a task which I especially wouldn't have a clue where to start.

I'd like to take this opportunity to thank Gavin for his hard work and I know I can speak for the other admins and moderators who share my sentiment.

I've started things early, ready for summer 2015, so the posts are incredibly thin on the ground- to say the least :rotfl:
